Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a rapid peace deal with Russia, arguing it would lead to a “loss” for Ukraine.
Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he could resolve the war in 24 hours, aims for a quick end, but Zelenskyy insists that a rushed settlement would compromise Ukraine’s independence.
Speaking in Budapest, Zelenskyy also rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s call for a cease-fire, citing failed attempts in 2014.
Additionally, he warned of North Korean troop involvement in Ukraine if Western allies don’t increase political pressure on Pyongyang.
Ukraine don’t want to give up territory. Russia demands territory to end the war. Trump has offered to resolve this in 24h. The conclusion seems clear: Trump has to offer Russia some parts of the US in exchange for releasing the occupied regions in Ukraine?
Russia invaded before any NATO stuff happened though? Repeatedly, time after time? Almost like Putin is an evil piece of shit you support?
They did not join Nato, got invaded twice ANYWAY… Almost like it was never about NATO, huh, go figure.
Finland joined NATO - not invaded… Go figure!
Good job to everyone sacrificing Ukrainian and Palestinian lives to send a message to the Democrats!
Huh, that’s weird, .ml is strangely quiet in this thread, you’d think they would have something to say, considering how much they screamed the last 3 months.
Trump’s 24-hours war solving: “Ukraine is now part of Russia”
Trump to Baltic states: “I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it further.”
Just kidding: “You better say nice things about me or you’re next!”
The Baltics are in a much stronger position than Ukraine. They are in Nato already, and are geographically important as a buffer to the only Nato members who actually take Russia as a serious threat (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland.) Tactically, air and sea defence of the Baltics is externally feasible, and the Baltics nations have focused on building land defense over the recent years. If you combine this with the obvious Russian war fatigue, and lack of resources, it is clear the Russia doesn’t have the capacity to invade the Baltics over the next two years at least, even if the Belarusians participated.
All of this becomes even harder if the Russians are gifted Ukraine and have to occupy it militarily.
They ARE next, no matter what.
Europe should start sending European troops in to defend the Ukraine now, because if Trump gets his way Putin will not stop and just start picking off European countries one by one and trump will make peace by just forcing the countries to surrender
Solving a complex geopolitical situation involving two nations at war…in 24 hours. I wonder if he was lying?
Sounds like the young American leftists who think they have the answer to the millennia long Israel/Palestine conflict.
Their answer, let the fascist rule

I often see the argument “Which part of your country would you be willing to cede in the name of peace?”
Normally this would be a valid argument, but in trumps case, I’m sure he’d gladly cede California or some other blue state if it meant he gained something from it. He has no scruples or integrity, and thinks other heads of state are the same.
I’m pretty sure most of the blue states, California especially, would be happy to leave the union at this point. What’s in it for us?
Dumb question, how would the electoral college be reallocated if a large state like California left?
